TAKINA (Burns) There has been a lot of comment on Takina, 
especially as to the color. Now if you never have seen a basket 
of from 20 to 30 spikes of this variety you do not know how 
rich a color effect you will get. The growth is sometimes erratic 
but you will always get a straight spike after it leaves the 
foliage. We do not get as many open as they do in New Zealand, 
and with six open, as it will do here, the mammoth 8-inch florets 
make a grand exhibit. The color is close to a violet red and 
slightly flakes darker. Award of merit at Ballarat test gardens 
in the Mammoth class. L-$1.50, M-$1.00, S-50c, B-3 for 25c.
